An incredible amount of information, presented in a clear and objective manner. ( ) If only the pictures had also been revised. Not only are the photographs full of 1970s hairdos and hair husbands, but all the women are completely naked. Not a gown, T-shirt, or sheet to be seen anywhere. While they do say you lose your modesty in childbirth, I found it a little off-putting. This probably shouldn't be the only book you read about childbirth, even if you are sure you want to do it naturally. It has become out of date, and it's very one-sided (natural = good; all interventions = bad). Especially if you are planning a hospital birth, you'll need to be educated about what goes on in today's typical hospital labor and what happens to derail the best-laid birth plans. I also found it a little dogmatic about how you should go through your labor--only two different positions are "allowed." So why read the book at all? Because it is fantastically detailed about the process of pregnancy, labor and delivery. The emotional stages of labor are described as well as the physical. A variety of possible "opening scenes" are listed, as well as some of the many variations that can arise (such as having an urge to push before you are fully dilated). There is practical advice about handling pain (the author does not pretend you won't feel any), positioning, and, if you like to feel like you're doing something, exercises to prepare your body for childbirth. If you are interested in natural childbirth but do not plan to take a Bradley class, reading the book is a good idea. (I have not read Husband-Coached Childbirth, of which a more recent version is available, so I cannot compare them.) A great overview of the Bradley method for birthing along with tips for any natural childbirth. The most important complaint is that this book hasn't been revised in a decade, so I couldn't trust many statements about the state of the medical industry. The last half of the book was also highly slated towards hospital births. But, I'll definitely be coming back to this book as a reference, and it's made me glad that I'll be taking the Bradley course to reinforce the exercises in this book. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

HTML:The classic guide to an unmedicated childbirth, fully revised for the twenty-first century—with updated information and attractive new illustrations and photos throughout. For women birthing vaginally, 90% of Bradley births are drug-free! The Bradley Method®, used and praised by women for almost seventy years, prepares you for drug and surgery-free childbirth and puts you in control by providing the tools to navigate evidence-based care. Certified childbirth educator Susan McCutcheon, one of Dr. Bradley’s first students, now makes this natural approach to childbirth more accessible than ever. You will learn: • Exercises and nutrition to get your body ready for birthing • To defuse fear by understanding all aspects of laboring • How to involve your partner as a birth coach and a fully engaged participant • What’s driving the induction epidemic and how to avoid an unnecessary induction • What’s driving the cesarean surgery epidemic and how to reduce your risk • How to get the information you need to make informed decisions about your birth “The Bradley Method’s simple objective, through relaxation, breathing, and visualization, is a birth free of the interventions frequently offered to women in the different stages of childbirth: fetal monitors, drug-induced labor, anesthesia, episiotomy, and Caesarean section. (Its) other defining feature, the husband’s active participation in the delivery, is critical to this overall goal of an intervention-free birth.”—Mothering. No library descriptions found. |
